side bar scaling

[Bader-Idris]

Type: Bug

When I resize my sidebar in VS Code, in full screen, then I change the size of the application, side bar's size gets changed, and that's only in the new update that came in the last days of April 23

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette). Lastly, please attach this file via the GitHub web interface as emailed responses will strip files out from the issue.

Happy coding!

@sbatten here, it is Notice: the maually word isn't correct I meant manually, my bad 😅

[Bader-Idris]

is it clear now?

[sbatten]

I understand the issue you describe, but I do not believe this behavior is new and seems to be working as designed. The editor are has a minimum width so when VS Code gets too small, something has to give, in this case it is the side bar.

[Bader-Idris]

It changes to all screen sizes, as its default It wasn't changing full-screen size automatically, my work requires changing VS code with frequently, and only in new versions the sidebar became changing automatically each time

[sbatten]

@Bader-Idris I'm not sure what you mean. In older versions, you are saying that the side bar remained bigger than the window size and you couldn't see the editor?

[Bader-Idris]

The big side bar I provided is only for explaining my point, what I meant is that the application resets side bar's width each time I drag the app - to get out of full-screen mode- and dwell it again, instead of sticking at the width I changed manually, it resets back to default width Please re-watch my gif I made as you asked @VSCodeTriageBot

I have this issue with different screen resolutions

when I switch the window to another monitor, the sizes of sidebars instead of being proportional seem too big and make the window unusable until I resize everything

This is my main screen with a 3440x1440 resolution

This is a secondary screen with a 1920x1080 resolution
